Since 9/11, virtually every unit of the National Guard—a force the size of the entire active Army—has served on active duty for one or more of the deployments at home or abroad. The last time that the entire National Guard had been mobilized was for World War II.

National Guard 101: A Handbook for Spouses is the only military lifestyle book written specifically for this unique audience. Written in a lively, informal tone, the book demystifies the hybrid civilian/military lifestyle.National Guard 101 is available on Amazon and at bookstores.

National Guard 101 is on its fourth printing. Bulk discount and customization options are available for National Guard organizations and military support groups. Please see contact SarahS@SavasBeatie.com for more information.

"A go-to guide for anyone new to the Guard's portion of the profession of arms, even those in uniform." -MG Gus L. Hargett, Jr. (Ret)President, National Guard Association of the United States
